Includes a valuable CAD/CAM software program.

This reference serves as a "memory jog" for experienced machinists and as a resource for programmers, for tooling, design, and production engineers, and for anyone else involved in machining. It presents principles of basic machining and its major considerations, starting with steps that most often

The concept of lean production is not new, but the challenges of dramatic change management often stymie business leaders trying to put lean operations into place. This volume offers a roadmap for putting into place the strategy and tactics managers need to make lean work and move their organizations towards a world-class production system.

Provides complete, in-depth coverage of the equipment and techniques used in the most popular welding processes: oxyacetylene, stick welding, MIG welding, and TIG welding. Although the bulk of the book is devoted to the more popular welding techniques, the authors also provide a chapter on soldering and brazing and another on plasma cutting.

Offers a fresh look at implementing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). This book takes into account the economic upheavals and demonstrates that TPM is less about moving maintenance tasks to operations than moving accountability for aggregate output of the plant to operators.

Books on design of pipelines, and equipment such as pumps and compressors are available but almost none on the piping that carries fluid to and fro. This practical book offers coverage of piping practices and maintenance all in one place.

Focuses on programmable automation technologies used in industry. This book provides a foundation of analytical techniques to justify automation and the knowledge and instruction of how to program computer numerical controlled (CNC) equipment, industrial robots and programmable logic controllers (PLC).

Presents common programming subjects and is applicable to both CNC milling and CNC turning operations. This book contains over one thousand illustrations, tables, formulas, tips, shortcuts, and practical examples. It also contains a section on CNC lathes with live tooling, including examples.

Offers coverage of issues related to countersinking and chamfering holes, including history of their use, design reasons, and basic cutter design. This book features "how-to-use" details of the most used tools and techniques and information on the subject of countersinking holes of various size, including those over 10 inches in diameter.

This text and reference for students and professionals uses applications from a range of technical disciplines. Mathematics is developed through easy step-by-step examples rather than formal proofs and is supported by references to how calculators and mathematical software can be used in solving re

Useful for beginners, as well as professionals, this edition addresses safety hazards and required precautions. It provides solutions to common problems for each process of welding. It explains setup and shutdown procedures, along with why equipment grounding and GFI's are needed and the way in which they work.

Covering stocking theory and practice, this compilation of the best techniques and practices for optimizing MRO inventory offers numerous case studies showing the best--and the not-so-best--ways to improve plant inventory performance. Based on practical solutions to everyday inventory problems, it uses simple but useful metrics for setting and monitoring goals.

Features the basic principles of materials selection for application in various engineering outcomes. This work defines a procedure to evaluate the materials performance efficiency in engineering applications and illustrates it with a number of examples; and includes sample project activities, along with a number of assignments for self exercise.

In this book/CD-ROM package, Smid, a consultant in CNC and CAD/CAM applications, introduces custom macros and shows how to develop and use them within the context of CNC machines and Fanuc control systems. Numerous examples and sample programs illustrate practical applications of techniques. All of
